“Mom, will you try your hardest?” those were the words uttered by Andy from the back seat yesterday.
Me: “What are you talking about?”
Andy: “I have a loose tooth. I want the Tooth Fairy to come. Will you try your hardest to pull it out?”
Me: “I will when we get home.”
I had a good hold on the tooth, ready for a big yank. Andy screamed like a school girl at the top of his lungs.
Me: “That’s enough of that. We are done. Your tooth isn’t loose enough yet.”
Last night Alyssa asked me to come into her room, “Mom, will you try getting this tooth out?”
Me: “Sure.” I try to grab it the best I can. “I don’t know, Sweetie. This is in here…” PLOP, out it comes with practically no effort at all. I finish my sentence “…pretty good.”
I have created a bunch of money hungry kids who believe they’ll receive vast riches by ripping out their teeth and have the Tooth Fairy dig deep in her pockets. Resourceful little monkeys!
This morning Alex is the first one of the kids up. He says: “Mom, Alyssa got a dollar from the Tooth Fairy.”
Me: “How do you know?”
Alex: “Because I pulled it out from under her pillow and seen it.”
Me: “Did you take it?”
Alex: “No, I put it back. I just wanted to see what she got.”
